Abstract
The ITER Central Solenoid (CS) conductor is composed of 576 superconducting strands and 288 Cu strands assembled together into a multistage cable and protected by a circle-in-square jacket with the outer dimension of 49 mm × 49 mm. In R&D to prepare for the ITER CS conductor manufacturing, mechanical tests of jacket, welding tests and manufacturing of 181-m long dummy conductor have been performed. In this paper, the R&D activities are presented, showing that as a result of this R&D, the CS conductor manufacturing technologies have been preliminary defined to start the procurement of the CS conductor.
